With the sheer number of skip methods introduced in the [[Anomaly]] DLC, it can be extrapolated that skipping is a well-trod technology among archotechs, at least to some degree. And the fact that they share similar if not identical audiovisual effects with skip-type psycasts implies they likely have the same mechanism of function. This implies that archotechs – or at least Horax, the archotech known as the void – possess some degree of practical FTL technology, despite the Cryptosleep Revival Briefing's claims to the contrary.
